Very commmon 1940s and 1950s pinbacks: were any of these made later?

Hi Chris -

A few thoughts:

To me, Muchinsky’s book is “the Bible.” It’s a great resource although his “values” are almost always inflated.

Certain PM-10s are inexplicably common. The Giants were represented by Carl Hubbell, Dick Bartell and Cliff Melton from the 1937 WS. Only Hubbell was a star yet these pins are everywhere and only worth maybe $10 each.

seaweed is a fine seller, although his inventory rarely changes. I’m sure he wishes it changed more. He (Eric) is a member of Net54.

I don’t collect the Negro Leagues but those and some minor league teams (e.g. Jersey City Giants) seem plentiful. I assume they’re legit and maybe they go cheap because they’re so generic (?). With the NY Giants, I think the same pins were sold at both football and baseball games.

Pins are like anything else....the plentiful PM-10s of Willie Mays don’t get a lot of money but certain PM-10s (even of Mays) are scarce as hens teeth and fetch big money. I have a handful of SF Giants I am looking for and some I’ve seen once or twice in 25+ years of searching.
